thank you both for the help, and the flat spot is what I was wondering about. I also found on closer inspection that there is a extra bolt hole on the inside front of the 57 fender where it mounts to the radiator support Well I guess I will have to go with the 55 fender even though I have done a...

I have been trying to bring back a 55 chevy 2nd series. I have a 57 I'am using for parts. The driver side fender on the 55 was in pretty bad shape so I used the fender off the 57. Is it me or is there some slight diffences in the way the fenders go on??

Well, I also picked up a 57 chevy truck from the same fella. The instrument cluster looks to be in pretty good shape. Maybe I will do some trading with it

Thsnk you the tip on the instrument panel removal. I will give it a try this afternoon. I will have to repaint the dash so a few scratches won't hurt a thing.

yes all this has been taken loose. The truck had been sitting out for about 5 years. i had to clean out the red wasps when I purchased the truck. The fella I bought the truck from kept telling me how valueble the truck would be when I got it fixed up. I kept thinking that if it waould be worth...

I have a 55 chevy truck instrument panel that doesn't seem to want to come out after removing the 3 philips head screws. The panel moves and will come out forward a bit but that's it. Is there a secret to removing one of these instrment panels from the dash? Tyhanks for any help

do you mean a new truck bed? Yes, it would save me some work. PM sent

A new what??

I picked this one up a few weeks ago here in town. Well really the wife did, she has been looking at them for a while now. I really haven't done a lot to it to many irons in the fire right now. But I have been getting together the parts for it. Colettesbro here on the forum has been a big help...

here are a few pics of the old truck. I was thinking of building a wooden flat bed for it. I have all the head light bezels and chrome Chevrolet plates. turnflex blinker system, optional fuse block (thanks to Brian) to put on it. The floor board is rock solid and the frame is in pretty good...

thanks for the info, I will have some pictures taken of the truck this evening. We didn't have any time last night. Had to mess with the horses and such. You wouldn't think that little tube would do much good as far as sending oil anywhere though

Thanks Bob and Big Tim for the help. I have replaced the old filter in the cannister and cleaned the cannister out. I put some compressed air through the hoses that go to and from the filter cannister.. I also removed the oil sending unit and cleaned it up. While I had the sending unit out I...

Thanks for the reply Big Tim and the help. I was thinking of going ahead and changing the oil pump while I had the pan off. Do all the 235 engines use the same oil pump ?

I'm new to the forum and I recently picked up a 60 Apache C-10 with a 235 stock engine with 3 speed transmission. And I have a few questions concerning the motor. Forgive me for any dumb questions. But I'm new to these types of motors. And from what I have learned from the threads in this forum...

I was hoping you may have a view parts for a 1960 apache. I need the head light bezels for driver and passenger sides. I also need the complete blinker assembly. I would also need the hood and fender emblems. thanks
